RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a 35 U.S.C. §371 national phase filing of International Patent Application No. PCT/JP2014/055820, filed Mar. 6, 2014, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to Japanese Patent Application Nos. 2013-044078, filed Mar. 6, 2013 and 2013-044080, filed Mar. 6, 2013, the entire disclosure of each of which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a fluorine-containing oligomer, nano-silica composite particles using the same, and methods for producing both. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fluorine-containing oligomer obtained by a copolymerization reaction without using a fluorine-based peroxide initiator, and relates to nano-silica composite particles using the same, and methods for producing both.

BACKGROUND ART

Patent Document 1 discloses a nano-substance containing a fluorine-containing compound represented, for example, by the general formula: Rf[CH₂CH(Si(OR)₃)]_(n)Rf. Patent Document 1 also discloses a nano-composite obtained by further incorporating a specific silane coupling agent into the nano-substance. Patent Document 1 indicates that the fluorine-containing compound is produced by a method comprising reacting a corresponding olefin monomer in the presence of an organic peroxide having an Rf group (perfluoroalkyl group).

Moreover, Patent Document 2 discloses a method for obtaining polyaniline-containing nano-composite particles by oxidizing aniline in the presence of a fluoroalkyl group-containing oligomer represented by the general formula: R¹[CH₂CR³(COZ)]_(n)R². Patent Document 2 indicates that the fluoroalkyl group-containing oligomer is obtained by reacting a fluoroalkanoyl peroxide compound and an acrylic acid, etc.

However, perfluoroalkanoyl peroxides used in these methods are very unstable, and have the risk of decomposition or explosion; therefore, special safety measures are required. Patent Document 3 also indicates that a method using a fluorine-based peroxide is not suitable for mass production. Further, since the fluorine-containing functional groups of the fluorine-containing oligomer become bound only to both ends of the oligomer as groups derived from the perfluoroalkanoyl peroxide, which is a polymerization initiator, there are problems that it is difficult to control the fluorine group content, and that the oil-repellent performance derived from fluorine is less likely to be exhibited.

Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses fluorine-containing silica composite particles comprising a mixture of silica nanoparticles, a fluorine-containing surfactant represented by the general formula: QOSO₂Rft, and a hydrolysate mixture of a functional alkoxysilane or a dehydration condensate thereof, without using a fluorine-based peroxide. Patent Document 3 indicates that the silica composite particles serve as a material that utilizes the chemical and thermal stability of silica, and the excellent water- and oil-repellency, antifouling properties, and catalytic characteristics of the fluorine compound.

However, the fluorine compound used in Patent Document 3 is a surfactant containing a sulfone group SO₂, and is produced by electrolytic fluorination method. In the electrolytic fluorination method, a large amount of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is used in the reaction, which thus requires sufficient safety measures. Other problems are that this method is not suitable for mass production in terms of the characteristics of the reaction, and that the resulting fluorine compounds are very expensive.

OUTLINE OF THE INVENTION Problem to be Solved by the Invention

An object of the present invention is to provide a fluorine-containing oligomer obtained by a copolymerization reaction without using a fluorine-based peroxide initiator, and to provide nano-silica composite particles using the same, and methods for producing both.

Means for Solving the Problem

The present invention provides a fluorine-containing oligomer comprising a copolymer of a fluoroalkyl alcohol (meth)acrylic acid derivative represented by the general formula: C_(n)F_(2n+1)(CH₂)_(d)OCOCR═CH₂  [I] wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, n is an integer of 1 to 10, and d is an integer of 1 to 6; and a (meth)acrylic acid derivative represented by the general formula: (CH₂═CRCO)_(m)R′  [II] wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, m is 1, 2, or 3; and when m is 1, R′ is an —OH group, an NH₂ group that is unsubstituted or mono- or di-substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or a monovalent group derived from an alkylene glycol or polyalkylene glycol group containing an alkylene group having 2 or 3 carbon atoms; when m is 2 or 3, R′ is a divalent or trivalent organic group derived from a diol or triol.

The fluorine-containing oligomer is produced by copolymerizing the above fluoroalkyl alcohol (meth)acrylic acid derivative [I] and (meth)acrylic acid derivative [II] in the presence of a hydrocarbon-based organic peroxide or azo compound polymerization initiator.

The term (meth)acrylic acid used herein refers to acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.

Further, the present invention provides nano-silica composite particles formed as a condensate of the above fluorine-containing oligomer and an alkoxysilane with nano-silica particles.

The nano-silica composite particles are produced by reacting the above fluorine-containing oligomer and an alkoxysilane in the presence of nano-silica particles using an alkaline or acidic catalyst.

Effect of the Invention

The fluorine-containing oligomer according to the present invention can be produced without using a fluorine-based peroxide initiator, and can be effectively used in the production of nano-silica composite particles, etc. Moreover, the use of a fluorine-containing monomer having a polymerizable functional group as a monomer has the advantage of easily controlling the fluorine content of the fluorine-containing oligomer and the fluorine content of the nano-silica composite particles.

Furthermore, fluorine-containing nano-silica composite particles produced by using the fluorine-containing oligomer have effects in not only that the average particle diameter and its variation range are small, but also that the particles are excellent in terms of heat-resistant weight loss.

EMBODIMENTS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The fluorine-containing oligomer is produced by copolymerizing a fluoroalkyl alcohol (meth)acrylic acid derivative represented by the general formula: C_(n)F_(2n+1)(CH₂)_(d)OCOCR═CH₂  [I]

-   -   R: H or a methyl group     -   n: 1 to 10, preferably 2 to 8, more preferably 2 to 6     -   d: 1 to 6, preferably 2,         and a (meth)acrylic acid derivative represented by the general         formula:         (CH₂═CRCO)_(m)R′  [II]     -   R: H or a methyl group     -   m: 1, 2, or 3     -   R′: when m is 1, —OH group, an NH₂ group that is unsubstituted         or mono- or di-substituted with an alkyl group, or a monovalent         group derived from an alkylene glycol or polyalkylene glycol         group containing an alkylene group having 2 or 3 carbon atoms;         when m is 2 or 3, a divalent or trivalent organic group derived         from a diol or a triol,         in the presence of a hydrocarbon-based peroxide or azo compound         polymerization initiator.

The fluoroalkyl alcohol (meth)acrylic acid derivative [I] is described, for example, in Patent Document 4, and is synthesized through the following series of steps.

First, a fluoroalkyl iodide represented by the general formula: C_(n)F_(2n+1)(CF₂CF₂)_(b)(CH₂CH₂)_(c)I

-   -   n: 1 to 6     -   a: 1 to 4     -   b: 0 to 3     -   c: 1 to 3,         is reacted with N-methylformamide HCONH(CH₃) to form a mixture         of fluoroalkyl alcohol and its formate. Then, the mixture is         hydrolyzed in the presence of an acid catalyst, thereby forming         a fluoroalkyl alcohol of the formula:         C_(n)F_(2n+1)(CF₂CF₂)_(b)(CH₂CH₂)_(c)OH.         The obtained fluoroalkyl alcohol is esterified with acrylic acid         or methacrylic acid to obtain a fluoroalkyl alcohol         (meth)acrylic acid derivative.         Examples of the above fluoroalkyl iodide include the following:

CF₃(CH₂CH₂)I

C₂F₅(CH₂CH₂)I

C₂F₅(CH₂CH₂)₂I

C₃F₇(CH₂CH₂)I

C₃F₇(CH₂CH₂)₂I

C₄F₉(CH₂CH₂)I

C₄F₉(CH₂CH₂)₂I

C₂F₅(CF₂CF₂)(CH₂CH₂)I

C₂F₅(CF₂CF₂)(CH₂CH₂)₂I

C₂F₅(CF₂CF₂)₂(CH₂CH₂)I

C₂F₅(CF₂CF₂)₂(CH₂CH₂)₂I

C₂F₅(CF₂CF₂)₃(CH₂CH₂)I

C₄F₉(CF₂CF₂)(CH₂CH₂)I

C₄F₉(CF₂CF₂)₂(CH₂CH₂)I

C₄F₉(CF₂CF₂)(CH₂CH₂)₂I

C₄F₉(CF₂CF₂)₂(CH₂CH₂)₂I

C₄F₉(CF₂CF₂)₃(CH₂CH₂)I

The (meth)acrylic acid derivative of the formula: (CH₂═CRCO)_(m)R′ [II], which is to be copolymerized with the fluoroalkyl alcohol (meth)acrylic acid derivative [I], is, when m is 1, a compound represented by the general formula: CH₂═CRCOOH CH₂═CRCONR¹R²

-   -   R¹, R²: H or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms         CH₂═CRCOR³     -   R³: a monovalent group derived from an alkylene glycol or         polyalkylene glycol group containing an alkylene group having 2         or 3 carbon atoms.         When m is 2 or 3, R′ is a divalent organic group derived from a         diol, such as the abovementioned alkylene glycol or polyalkylene         glycol group, or a trivalent organic group derived from a triol,         such as trimethylolpropane.

The copolymerization reaction of both derivatives is performed by a solution-polymerization method in an organic solvent, such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, or AK-225, which is described later, in the presence of a hydrocarbon-based peroxide or azo compound polymerization initiator, such as tertiary-butyl peroxide, diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, 2,2′-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), or azobis(isobutyronitrile). Such a polymerization initiator is used at a ratio of about 0.1 to 50 wt. %, preferably about 5 to 20 wt. %, based on the weight of the monomer mixture.

The amount of copolymerized fluorine-containing monomer [I] in the obtained fluorine-containing oligomer is about 0.1 to 50 mol %, preferably about 1 to 20 mol %. The oligomer has a number average molecular weight Mn of about 5,000 or less, preferably about 100 to 3,000, and has a particle diameter of 200 nm or less. The dispersibility of fluorine-containing oligomer white powder when dispersed in various solvents is also excellent, except in hydrocarbon solvents.

The thus-obtained fluorine-containing oligomer is reacted with an alkoxysilane in the presence of nano-silica particles using an alkaline or acidic catalyst, thereby forming nano-silica composite particles.

As the nano-silica particles, organosilica sol having an average particle diameter (measured by a dynamic light scattering method) of 5 to 200 nm, preferably 10 to 100 nm, and having a primary particle diameter of 40 nm or less, preferably 5 to 30 nm, even more preferably 10 to 20 nm, is used. Practically used are commercial products of Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd., such as Methanol Silica Sol, Snowtex IPA-ST (isopropyl alcohol dispersion), Snowtex EG-ST (ethylene glycol dispersion), Snowtex MEK-ST (methyl ethyl ketone dispersion), and Snowtex MIBK-ST (methyl isobutyl ketone dispersion).

Examples of the alkoxysilane include alkoxysilanes represented by the general formula: (R₁O)_(p)Si(OR₂)_(q)(R₃)_(r)  [III]

-   -   R₁, R₃: H, C₁-C₆ alkyl group, or an aryl group     -   R₂: C₁-C₆ alkyl group or an aryl group,         -   proviso that not all of R₁, R₂, and R₃ are aryl groups     -   p+q+r: 4, proviso that q is not 0.         Specific examples thereof include trimethoxysilane,         triethoxysilane, trimethoxymethylsilane, triethoxymethylsilane,         trimethoxyphenylsilane, triethoxyphenylsilane,         tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, and the like.

The proportion of these components are such that about 10 to 100 parts by weight, preferably about 20 to 80 parts by weight, of fluorine-containing oligomer, and about 0.1 to 100 parts by weight, preferably about 20 to 80 parts by weight, of alkoxysilane are used based on 100 parts by weight of nano-silica particles. When the amount of fluorine-containing oligomer used is less than this range, the water- and oil-repellency decreases. In contrast, when the amount of fluorine-containing oligomer used is greater than this range, dispersibility in solvents decreases.

The reaction between these components is performed in the presence of a catalytic amount of an alkaline or acidic catalyst, such as aqueous ammonia, an aqueous solution of a hydroxide of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or calcium hydroxide), or hydrochloric acid, or sulfuric acid, at a temperature of about 0 to 100° C., preferably about 10 to 50° C., for about 0.5 to 48 hours, preferably about 1 to 10 hours.

In the nano-silica composite particles obtained from the reaction, it is considered that the fluorine-containing oligomer becomes bound to a hydroxyl group present on the surface of the nano-silica particles via a siloxane bond, or that the fluorine-containing oligomer is included in a shell having a siloxane skeleton. Therefore, the chemical and thermal stability of silica, and the excellent water- and oil-repellency, antifouling properties, etc., of the fluorine-containing oligomer are effectively exhibited. In fact, the nano-silica composite particles have the effect of reducing weight loss at 800° C. Moreover, the particle size of the nano-silica composite particles and the variation of the particle size also show small values. The nano-silica composite particles are thus formed by a condensation reaction of a fluorine-containing oligomer and a silane derivative with nano-silica particles; however, mixing of other components is allowed, as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired.

EXAMPLES

The following describes the present invention with reference to Examples.

Example 1

In 50 ml of isopropanol,

-   -   CF₃(CF₂)₃(CH₂)₂OCOCH═CH₂ [FAAC-4] 3.00 g     -   CH₂═CHCON(CH₃)₂ [DMAA] 27.37 g were charged. While stirring the         isopropanol solution of them, an initiator, i.e.,     -   2,2′-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) 3.04 g         -   (V-65, a product of Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.)             was added. After nitrogen was bubbled to replace the             dissolved oxygen, the mixture was heated until the inner             temperature reached 50° C. While maintaining this             temperature, the mixture was reacted for 5 hours.

The reaction mixture was supplied in n-hexane, and the generated fluorine-containing oligomer was separated by filtration, thereby obtaining 30 g (yield: 90.0%) of white powder fluorine-containing oligomer. When the molecular weight of the fluorine-containing oligomer was measured by GPC, the number average molecular weight Mn was 801, and Mn/Mw, which indicates molecular weight distribution, was 1.74. Further, when the copolymerization ratio of the obtained fluorine-containing oligomer was measured by ¹H-NMR, FAAC-4:DMAA was 2:98 (mol %).
